A smarter home is easy to achieve with simple additions in key areas. The garage is one of those areas that is perfect for a smart upgrade. MyQ Smart Garage hub is the perfect way to make this very important entry point of your home more secure, and more convenient for you and your family. Enter this contest for your chance to win one of 5 MyQ Smart Garage Hubs that we are giving away.

Enhanced Garage door security and enhanced convenience

As we have all found out over the past decade or so, more security often correlates with more hurdles. Think about passwords, for example, the most secure passwords are long sequences of characters that are changed frequently. However, those same passwords tend to be hard to remember—they are less convenient!

The newest smart technology for your home not only makes your home more secure, it also makes your home easier to keep secure, and easier for your family to enter and leave safely. The MyQ Smart Hub does this for your garage. Get in more easily; keep others out more easily.

Blogger Matt Paligaru recently installed one of these in his home, and reviewed it. Watch his video and you’ll see that it really is easy to install and use.

Matt showed that installation, and configuration with the app are really simple. And once you have the MyQ and the app, you can control the door with your phone (no more need for a separate remote) and monitor whether it is open or closed from anywhere. Think of how convenient that will be in your home!

Which is more important to you: security or convenience? MyQ has both! To enter this contest you must pick one or the other. Here are the details of the contest:

  1. As with everyone else, security is a key reason. My garage is set back and I really appreciate that I can check it through the app instead of walking out

  2. I would value the security aspect of it more, because of how important security and peace of mind is to me in general. Still, it is a hard toss up with the convenience aspect. But overall, I personally think security is the priority over convenience.

  3. security has been very important for our family, we have had some very scary close calls lately with thieves. My husbands a mechanic and has tones of tools in his shop he has spent years collecting!! we have been searching for a great home security system to help ease our worries!

  4. Remote access would be great. My husband always opens the garage door before he even comes around the corner!

  5. Security is most important to me. I always second guess myself on if I closed the garage. I often double back from a block away and I even get up out of bed to check sometimes. This would be such a sanity saver for me!

  6. it’s awesome that you can control the door with your phone. i can open the door for the kids or the neighbour. i can close it when i forget in the winter!

  7. Security is always at the top of the list. But I do like that you don’t need an extra remote to use it too.

  8. I would have to say that the Security aspect for me, is the most important, of the MyQ-Smart-Garage hub.

  9. Security for me. Having young children their safety and security is one of my top priorities.

  10. I love that you can control the door with your phone and that you don’t need a separate remote.

  11. Definitely convenience – we always have our phones with us so this would be amazing!

  12. Definitely Security. A few months ago in a baby-induced-exhausting-fog, I went to the library for the afternoon and left the garage door open ALL DAY! I SO wish i had a device like this that could have notified me I had forgotten. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but I was definitely worried (especially because our garage connects directly into our house!)

  13. Security is crucial! I like that I can tell whether it is opened or closed from anywhere

  14. Love that I can check whether it is open or closed from anywhere… very convenient since I sometimes second-guess myself on whether I closed the garage door or not!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  15. I like that I can tell whether it is opened or closed from anywhere. Sometimes I leave and then I question myself whether I closed the door. By then it’s too late to turn around because I would be late for work.

  16. Security – We have a door to our house through the garage so I would rather make access to that difficult with a secure garage door!
